Why a Winter Festival?

Winter is the darkest season. But the darkness of winter draws our attention to light. At Winter Festival we celebrate the light that each of us brings to our family, our classrooms, our school and our community.

Winter is the darkest season. Winter is also the coldest season. But the coldness of winter draws attention to the warmth in our hearts. With this warmth, each of us has the power to thaw bigotry, intolerance and ignorance. At Winter Festival we celebrate the love inside each of us.

As Maria Montessori said, “Love is the most potent.” Love is the most powerful.

And just as the song goes, “As long as you love me so, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”
